The Love From Vengeance

171 LET LOVE LEAD

ARIEL’S POV

“So now you’re telling me that you think you’ve fallen in love with Luke?” My mother asked me. I had been narrating my whole situation to her, talking about how I developed these feelings and how they compounded, including all details, when he went to look for me at the time I was abducted by his mother.

“Well, I have fallen in love with Luke, and it’s kind of… heartbreaking.”

“Heartbreaking? Why do you say that?”

“Anytime I smile around him, my mind is drawn back to the things that happened at our first marriage. And this surge of hatred just comes right in me, but it fades, and I’m back to the loving Ariel again. Oh gosh.”

“Okay, I get the fact that Luke actually treated you like hell. It’s really sad and painful. But since the two of you are back together, what’s wrong with you loving him?”

“The thing is….” I paused right away. With my eyes closed, I shook my head. A decision I made right. now–not telling her about my plan. It wasn’t going to be a good idea telling her about it. Everything would be revealed in the end. And it was close.

“The thing is what?” She asked.

I suspired. “It’s nothing. Forget I said that.”

“Look, Ariel. I don’t know what’s going on in your mind right now. But just a piece of advice, you got to let love lead. Follow your heart, not your mind.”

“Are you being serious right now?”

“Well yeah. Look, getting into a relationship with your father, I had to put away so many things, and I followed my heart. A lot of obstacles came in our way but our love was strong enough to win the battle. If Luke loves you, and you love him, then go on, forget about the past, focus on the present. You need to be lost in the passion, you got to savour every moment. Don’t think about the terrible things that’s going to come your way. Don’t think about the differences, don’t think about the obstacles, forget about the challenges. You know how the saying goes my dear–love conquers all.

“Wow, I don’t……even know what to say. But thanks for the advice.”

“It’s my pleasure, sweetheart,” she said with a warm smile, holding my hand. “So, you want to help. me out with the garden? I still have a lot of work to do.”

“Sure. Of course I’m going to help you with that,” Tresponded, also smiling delightfully.

“Don’t you think you should go and change first? You don’t want to ruin your beautiful dress?”
